What is DBT?
At its core, DBT is a form of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) that emphasizes balancing acceptance and change. It provides practical skills in four key areas:
- Mindfulness: Learning to be present and fully engaged in the moment.
- Distress Tolerance: Developing strategies to handle emotional crises without resorting to harmful behaviors.
- Emotion Regulation: Gaining control over intense emotions instead of being overwhelmed by them.
- Interpersonal Effectiveness: Building healthy relationships and improving communication skills.
Why is DBT So Effective?
DBT stands out because it combines acceptance-based strategies with change-focused techniques, offering a comprehensive approach to managing emotional difficulties. It’s not just about treating symptoms but about empowering individuals to lead more fulfilling lives.
